The best option for a European Roadster upgrade is to fit a J1772 socket to the car (see tomsax's account of that) and carry a Mennekes to J1772 cable (this is forseen in the standard) plus a UMC with a J1772 in place of the Tesla connector.

This way you can charge from:
- J1772 directly (using the cable attached to the EVSE)
- Mennekes (using the cable you brought along)
- Wild sockets (using the J-UMC)

The above all assuming (reasonably) that there will never be a 3-phase input PEM upgrade for the Roadster.

a vienna -3phase rectifier is smaller as the single-phase high current charger - why not replacing it? the PEM need a redesign anyway - the blower for the PEM is only IP33 and not a reliable component. if the warranty is expired, i can do what its needed to be done.

We picked up the Roadster of my colleague today and I asked about the Mennekes connector cable. There is a Dutch company, EV-Box which seems to have these cables, but I'm not sure if it's a real Tesla <> Mennekes connector or just a adapter for the Mobile charger, thus limiting to 16A.

I'll give them a call tomorrow and ask about this.

For now, the Roadster is being charged at 32A at a regular (blue, 1-phase) CEE outlet.

Just spoke to EV-Box, they don't have a Mennekes <> Tesla cable, for the simple reason, the Tesla connector is not freely available.

But they do sell Mennekes <> CEE, with a resistor in the Mennekes connector, one for 16A and one for 32A. They are going to send me one so I can charge the Roadster in The Netherlands at E-Laad at 16A and RWE in Germany at 32A.
